Verdict
Desert Society's third at Chepstow came over 7f and he's trying this longer trip for the first time, though did won over 1m as a two-year-old. Mark Johnston looks to hold the key to this claimer as HENRY THE AVIATOR and Skytrain generally compete at a much higher level. The latter has become increasingly erratic so we'll row in with the former, who is another who has his stamina to prove but was third over an extended mile at Leicester earlier this year and will have the valuable assistance of Ryan Moore. Dalgig will stay every inch of the trip and Jamie Osborne's maiden will be waiting to pounce if the selection doesn't last home.
